Our thoughts with our neighbors

There are folks in Marlboro who still have no phone, power, and limited access in and out due to Irene. Some of our neighbors lost homes or businesses. Like a lot of other Vermonters, we are organizing a benefit to get money for families who need it (show slated for October 21st. Click the "appear" link in the goofy wheel to the right for more info). In the meantime we are thinking of those most affected, and wanting to express extreme gratitude to the Marlboro road crew, who are working their asses off to get the town safe and accessible

Numerous appearances in VT, NYC, NH in September and October, including an Irene flood benefit

We'll have the new CD (and, hopefully, the new vinyl) in tow. Click the word "appear" in that little goofy circle to the right for more info

Governer-Elect Shumlin

As most states swung red this past election, Vermont bucked the trend by replacing a retiring republican governor with the democratic candidate Peter Shumlin. We're pleased that the Govenor Elect will have a chance to promote progressive policies on health care and early education for our little state, and proud that Shumlin asked us to play for his inaugural celebration on January 5th. Check back for further details.

Hello and welcome to Red Heart the Ticker's pages in space, a site with no physical location, which is odd, seeing as most things have one. For example, your silver might go in your silverware drawer. Another example are the points on a motorcycle. They pop open and closed a billion times and force the spark plug to spark. Now their placement might depend on whether you've got a hog, a crotch rocket, a Triumph, or a '78 Honda CM185, but needless to say they are somewhere below the gas tank and to one side. And yet this Red Heart the Ticker site simply floats and undulates, suspended in space and time like a dingy drifting out to sea. Well, regardless, we're happy you're here (though there really is no "here", is there). Take a poke around, sign up on the e-mail list if you'd like to hear about gigs in your area, look at our photos, listen to our songs, and don't rush anything. Rushing never helps.

Best and prodigiously,
RHTT
